In the Kitchen


I was recently organizing my photos into a new program, and I couldn't help looking at the pictures I've taken since I've moved into the house five and a half years ago.  I still remember the sound of the steamer getting off all the blue wallpaper that was around my main level of the home.  I never want to hear that sound again! I painted the cabinets the first time, then did a whole gut job for the final project.  I love my kitchen and I love to cook. The perfect combo!
I have recently discovered the perfect delicious, easy fall desert.  Buy some pumpkin icecream and either make...or buy at costco some soft gingersnap cookies.  You could make icecream sandwiches with them, or I just like to dip my cookies in the icecream.  I thought I would share the perfect recipe for my soft gingersnaps.

1 cube softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
cream together
then add
2 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
Mix together, roll in balls, then roll in granulated sugar. Bake on a greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
